Jane Abbott Kirk was the piano professor for my brother Dr. Alan Louis Smith. She taught him from his freshman year at Baylor through his Master's Degree. He went on to get a doctorate from University of Michigan then a tenured professorship at University of Southern California. She was so integral to his success and a great influence on the development of his gifts. He was always grateful, spoke highly of her with great affection. She will live on.
